Do you Prefer Fashion Forward or ensembley challenged?

With a fashion history mock exam looming over me, what better way to revise than to blog about my favourite decade! The 90's!

From TLC to Tone Loc! From Sister Sister to Swatch watches! The 90s wasn't all plaid shirts and painful poetic dirges!

T-Boz, Lisa Left Eye and Chilli! '92

Sure, in a nod to the crispy seattle weather "Barnies," and "Betties," alike embraced the lowly lumberjack look.

Smashing Pumpkins bassist D'arcy Wretzky totally embodies the quintessential grunge chick!
With roots as black as her soul and the eyebrows to match, Wretzky and the likes of Courtney Love put grunge girls on the map!

However with grunge back in a big way and with big guns like Marc Jacobs and Co jumping on the band wagon unfortunately sexually frustrated school girls have sought solace and shot for the grunge get-up! Cue Taylor Momsen! 


MISS! 

And anyway, away, with all the misery and self loathing sitting around in the 90s. What about the Fresh Prince, Spice Girls, Trolls and obviously I'd never forget Cher and Dion!

Never ones to shy away from a pesky lil print! Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince!
